LEG AMPUTATED.-We noticed several
weeks ago that Mr.. Henry Hughes. one of
the Oldest ard most highly respected citi-
zens Of Stanton, was afflicted with gam
creme in the foot and leg. The attending
physicians, Drs. Hanger and Patterson,
were hopeful at one time that the disease
would yield to treatment. and the leg
might be saved. But after the most care.
full nursing and medical attention, it was
finally concluded that the affected portion
of the limb would have to be taken Off
On Saturday last the operation was per-
formed. Drs. Hanger, Patterson. Shelton
and Weir were present, and the leg taken
off at the knee joint. The patient was
placed under the influence Of chloroform
and after the operation was completed it
was found that the system had borne the
shock much better than was expected. At
last accounts Mr. Hughes was getting
along as comfortably as the painful cir
cumstances would allow. We sincerely
hope he may entirely recover, land be spared
to his family and the community.

Death Of VIM. Patterson. Esq

Death OF VIM. Patterson, Esq.
On Saturday last. VIM. Patterson, Esq,
of this county, died at his home near Pat
terson's Station. after q long and painful
illness. He was in the 9th year of his
age. The disease which terminated fatal
ly, was malignant affection of the stom-
ach. which for eighteen months had been
gradually undermining the vital forces.
Mr. Patterson was one of tie most
prominent and highly esteemed citizens of
Augusta. He was born on the farm where
his last days were spent, and throughout
his long and useful life had measured up
to the highest standard of genuine man
hood. Broadminded, liberal in his views
of public questions. of deep convictions
and with the courage to maintain them
under all circumstances, he was justly re-
garded as wise counsellor, and one whose
judgment could be relied upon. Had he
chosen to enter one of the learned profess
sions his unusual endoWments and energy
would have ranked him among the leaders
of this class. He was a student, not of
books, but of nature itself, and seemed to
read men as if by intuition. His strong
common sense enabled him to clearly pen
citrate the most intricate questions, and
rarely did he err in his conclusions. &C.
NAL in disposition, big hearted and fear
less, thoroughly conscientious in all he did,
just to all men, and with charity broad
in thought and deed. his life filed quiet,
unobtrusiye page in the annals Of our day,
as free from blot or blemish, as rich in the
genuine graces of character. as that allot-
ted to many man whose praise has been
sung by thousands.
Mr.. Patterson never married, but there
were not few whose affection for him
was as strong and sincere as though they
had been bound to him by closest ties of
kindredship. His hand was ever ready to
help the worthy, and from his ample
means has flowed relief to homes where
need was dire and help was help indeed
A tale Of suffering or of sorrow awaked
his kindliest sympathies; and found a
quick response, if human aid could serve.
In all Of mans relations he was mao.
and few there are whose death would
cause more genuine feeling of regret
among those who knew him well.
The funeral took place from Mt. Horeb
Church on Sunday last, Rev, Mr.. Laird
conducting the services. A large num-
Der Of friends ana acquaintance gathered
to nav the last sad tribute to the worthy
dead.

EXTENDING BUSINEsS.-The enterpri-
sing firm of Lushbaugh Bro. & Co., whose
extensive furniture factories and large
salerooms, constitutes one Of the. foremost
features of Staunton's industries. have
still further extended their efforts by the
addition of an Undertaking Department.
With view to meeting the wants of the
public, they have converted portion of
their Main Street store. principally the
lower floor, into casket depository, and
have on hand a large and selected stock,
embracing handsome metallic and cloth
covered cases, besides collins in rosewood,
walnut and all the finished woods. In quail
ty, style and size their assortment is COM
plete. They have also purchased an ele-
CANT haarse, one Of the handsomest We
hicies in the State. It is of the Clarence
pattern, with heavy plate glass sides ard
curved front and rear. Eight urns deco
rate the top, The trimmings are black
leather cushions, andfull inside head piece
IN white broad cloth, tastefnlly upholstered
and silver buttons The balance of inside
trimming is black. The curtains are fine,
heavy French black cloth, with elegant
three inch gold bullion fringe and long
gold tassels. The undertaking depart
ment will be in charge Of Mr.. John Kice
of the firm, with Mr.. c. G. Henderson as
funeral director.
At the furniture factory the other day.
a beautiful set of cherry furniture was
being made. The wood was grown in this
county, and the work when finished will
be one Of the handsomest and most com
plete sets that can be found on the market.
The firm is pushing the furniture branch
vigorously, and supplying the public with
substantial home made goods, at prices
that successfully compete With western
manufactures. They thus not only turn
out the best quality Of goods, but are Civ
ing employment to number of home me-
chanics, and setting an example which
thoselwho have the interests of the town at
heart would Go well to initiate.

LOUISE ARNoT, the gifted actress who
commences q week s engagement at the
Opera House on Monday next, seems to
be a general fayorite wherever she APP
pears. She is supported by a strong com
pany, and presents popular plays at popu-
lar prices. In nothing save the charge
for admittance is this a cheap company
The plays are all clean, healthy and pre-
sented with dramatic force of high or
der. In speaking Of the appearance of the
company in Norfolk, the V5rgiaian of that
city has this to say:
Miss Arnot. as Leah, the Forsakeu, por-
trays alternately deep love, strong passion,
conscious INNOCENCE, reyengefulness, ha-
tired, sorrow and forgiveness in such per-
lection as to thrill her audiences with en-
thusiasm and admiration. She commands
at will smiles OF tears, impressive silence
or deafening applause. Her action, when
she accidentally discovers the man for
whom she has forsaken everything, at the
altar with another, is weird, romantic and
withal beautiful, and her subsequent ar
raignment Of him for his faithlessness
unnerveS the audience.
